Current study results from the report, 'Effect of diet-induced obesity on acute pancreatitis induced by administration of interleukin-12 plus interleukin-18 in mice,' have been published. "Obesity is associated with increased severity of acute pancreatitis (AP). We recently developed a model of AP induced by administration of interleukin (IL)-12+IL-18, two cytokines that are elevated in patients with AP," scientists in the United States report.
"In this model, severe AP develops in obese leptin-deficient ob/ob mice compared to lean littermates. In the present report, we evaluated the pancreatic response of diet-induced obesity (DIO) mice to IL-12+IL-18. Body weight loss...
